Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a small bowl, form the ground beef into a small patty, about 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bun

    While the patty is cooking, split the hamburger bun and toast it in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Hamburger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Place the cooked beef patty on top. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm.
